This week we take a look at the Bavarian King Ludwig II, better known as the "Swan King". From his upbriinging to the taking over as king, (too soon?), and his lavish buildings of Castles, which he would be famous for. And also ties with Wagner, and Bismarck, are all topics for this weeks episode. All this and more, this week on "Well That Aged Well":
